This evenings photos...

 
I wasn't too pleased with my photos this evening. I think sometimes I'm my own worst critic...I also think there are times I should leave my camera at home!!
 
 
 
He's a bully and was keeping the other hummers away from the feeder.
 

Storms to the North East in Houston this evening
 

One of Michael's Giant Pumpkin plants
 

I basically sat and watched the storms build up
 

Sun fix'in to set
 

The Mississippi Kites are migrating through
 

Clouds and the moon
 

Love watching the kites when they migrate, so pretty.

Morning chow call...

 
The Landlord fed the deer, he loved his deer and knew them all. Now the braver ones have started coming over when I feed Julie in the mornings and eating with her.
 
 
This is Split ear, she's the bravest one of the deer herd and comes right up while I'm still standing there. She's cautious but not afraid...I'm pretty sure she's been fed since she was a young fawn.
 

Mmm mmm good, horse feed is delicious!
 
 

Of course she has to share with the chickens!
 

Another doe and fawn came up...
 

They weren't interested in the feed but headed right to the water tank. The fawns eyes were puffy and swollen and I'm sure it's from getting scratched by weeds while eating.
 

 This is Split ear with her Twin brother Silver. I am sure my Landlord has fed them since they were fawns.
 
 

Split ear, you can see why I call her that. She has twin fawns this year but they are still skittish and don't come up to eat with their Mother.
 

A 6pt that has been hanging around with Split ear and her brother
 

Split ear with 6pt and her brother Silver. They are waiting for me to go sit down and leave them alone to eat in peace!
 

Love this photo of Split ear with her brother Silver...even animals love each other!
 

Love my mornings around here...

Dawn, Donna and Trey arrive for the week...

Michael, Colby and I arrived home from Houston on Monday and Dawn, Donna and Trey arrived Monday evening for the week...
 
We had a little pool time here and there...
 

Trey was having a blast. This is the first time he's come to visit without his sister so he had some one on one time with his Mom and us.
 

Donna, Dawn's Mom
 

We went over to Port Aransas for a couple of days, beach time!
 

 
 

The boys going out with Dawn to catch some waves
 

 

Donna grabbed the camera and got some photos of us!
 

I love Dawn and I'm so glad she came for a visit, sheesh I miss her!
 

Dawn picked the camera up too and got some photos of Michael and I together enjoying the beach.
 

Trey was absolutely loving it!
 

We all were...
 

Michael and I attempting to get our kite up...
 

Donna found a whole sand dollar, yeah!
 

Me dancing in the waves! Not really I was playing with the kite!
 

Dawn captured some seagulls
 

Trey kite dancing
 

The boys and I playing with the kite

 
 
We went to Fins for dinner, love this place!



Michael chilling with his Ipad
 

I love Trey's eyes, beautiful
 

The were behaving and watching the Marina
 

It didn't last for long, lol
 

Good times with Good friends!
 


Then we headed over to the inter-coastal channel, boys are off to play

We watched the car ferries and lots and lots of dolphins. The dolphins were so close to the boardwalk you could hear them breath when they came up for air. It was a beautiful night.
 

The next morning I got up for the sunrise at the beach. I couldn't get anyone to join me, lol.
 

I love the sunrises, beautiful!
 

 We did a little shopping later on before heading home
 
 
 
The boys like the huge shark!
 
 

 On the car ferry headed home...
 
We had a great time and I so miss them!
